CruiseControl and Maven

At work today, I put together a config.xml for CruiseControl to run continuous integration builds for our project. We're using Maven, so I used the CruiseControl Plugin to generate a cruisecontrol.xml file to get started. Then I moved this file up a few directories, renamed it to config.xml and changed all the log paths to be outside of the project.

There's quite a difference between running CruiseControl with Ant vs. Maven. With Ant - you tend to delete the whole project, check it out from CVS and build/test it from scratch. With Maven, the recommendation seems to be a bit different. What I found on the mailing lists and such was that you should manually checkout your project into your "checkout" directory and then call "scm:update-project|clean test" from config.xml. With Maven, it seems there's no CruiseControl-specific maven.xml file for your project.

I tend to like the delete/checkout/test approach you get with Ant over the update/test approach with Maven. For those of you that are using CruiseControl with Maven - is it possible to do delete/checkout/test - or am I stuck with the update/test approach?
